Reasonable Cause Explanation ReasonableCauseExplanation

FieldValueIRS element (for citing)
ExplanationChristian African Leadership Ministries is filing the return for the 2020 tax year late. During 2020, the member of the Board of Directors primarily repsonsible for recordkeeping and tax return preparation dealt with prolonged COVID-19 sickness. The sickness effected both the board member and her family, so she was unable to perform her duties for a significant amount of time. At the same time the decision was made to move the Foundation's primary business operation from Memphis, TN to Birmingham, AL. The remaining Board members were unable to obtain records, bank statements, checks, and other records from the former member in charge of recordkeeping. The return filing was not overlooked or forgotten, but records were not discovered until late 2021.Once the Foundation was able to secure some records, it was able to re-create other missing records. The Foundation began using an outside accountant to prepare the tax return, and work was completed as soon as possible. We respectfully request that any late filing penalties be abated in light of the afore mentioned hardships. We fell that the COVID-19 pandemic created difficult working arrangements, especially as it relates to non-profits.ExplanationTxt
